How Can Nose Congestion Be Treated?
I have sleep apnea and use a bi-pap machine. When I wake up in the mornings I almost always have a need to blow my nose to clear my breathing. The mucus is plentiful and always clear. I also have a cough for about the first 30 minutes I am awake. Frequently the cough chokes me until I can blow my nose to get rid of the mucus.
